Chief Financial Officer
Salary
$200,000 – $220,000 + executive benefits package
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
This is not a maintenance CFO role—this is a true rebuild. You’ll step into a mission-driven organization at a critical turning point with full support from the CEO and Board to transform finance, operations, and reporting from the ground up.
The organization has scale, impact, and complexity: hundreds of employees, hundreds of funding contracts across county, state, and federal sources, and a finance function that is ready for modernization. Leadership is aligned and invested in bringing in the right person to stabilize, rebuild, and elevate.
What makes this opportunity especially compelling:
- Direct line to CEO and Board with high visibility and influence
- Full ownership of rebuilding finance, billing, and reporting functions
- Opportunity to bring billing back in-house and stand up a stronger revenue cycle
- Lead ERP optimization (NetSuite or similar) and upcoming system implementations
- Executive-level compensation and comprehensive benefits
- Mission-driven, family culture organization with meaningful community impact
- Ability to build your team, structure, and processes the right way
- Long-term opportunity to shift from hands-on transformation to strategic leadership
This is ideal for a leader who has rebuilt before, knows how to prioritize what matters first, and wants to leave a lasting operational legacy.
Key Responsibilities of Chief Financial Officer:
- Lead full financial transformation including close process, reporting, controls, and audit readiness
- Stabilize and rebuild billing operations, including oversight of outsourced partners and transition planning back in-house
- Oversee grants, contracts, and funding compliance across a large, multi-source environment
- Optimize ERP systems (NetSuite or similar) and implement tools to improve AP, reporting, and visibility
- Build and structure the finance team, delegating effectively to elevate overall performance
Qualifications of Chief Financial Officer:
- Proven nonprofit finance leadership experience with exposure to grants, contracts, and government funding
- Experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP and ability to improve systems and reporting
- Background in restructuring, turnaround environments, and familiarity with healthcare billing cycles (Medicare/Medicaid)
What You’ll Be Focused On (First 12 Months):
Operational Stabilization (40%)
- Reduce month-end close from 45–60 days to a timely, reliable cycle
- Address backlog across billing, contracts, and reporting
- Improve accuracy and visibility of financial data
Billing & Revenue Cycle Rebuild (25%)
- Oversee outsourced billing relationship and transition strategy
- Rebuild internal billing processes and team structure
- Improve understanding and management of the full billing lifecycle
Team Buildout & Leadership (20%)
- Assess current team (300+ staff environment) and restructure where needed
- Put strong leaders in place and delegate effectively
- Create accountability, clarity, and scalable processes
Systems & Process Improvement (15%)
- Optimize NetSuite usage for budgeting, reporting, and transparency
- Support implementation of new tools (e.g., AP automation)
- Partner with program leaders to ensure budget visibility and ownership
